My Dad played this and sang it to me christmas day 8 days later he lost his fight against Cancer he was only 65 ,five months later my sister died suddenly at 46 two yrs ago lost my mum My only other family live in England This song means the world to me Jenny Guernsey 🇬🇬 ♥ ❤
this song reminds me of a girl i met on a train. We were both hours from our destination, it was night time and we couldn't sleep. We talked til the sun came up. Describing our likes or dislikes, arguing our favorite movies and music..Laughing.. Even debating on life and love. She was amazing. When the train arrived at her stop we exited holding hands and shared a kiss... I was weightless. She asked me to stay, to not get back on that train. Ill never forget her
I came downstairs at 2:10 am, here in South Carolina, and this song just came into my mind and I started singing it. I had to "fire up" my laptop" so I could hear Ray Charles sing it the way it is suppose to be sang.
In my opinion, Ray Charles, Elvis Pressley, and Johnny Cash are on a level by themselves when it comes to American Music, True American Legends and Treasures whose music shall live for enternity!
WIllie's cut is up to 5MILLION views. He was close friends with Cindy Walker, from Mah-hay-yah, Tx (Mexia), did an album of her songs. Video shows Willie on his bus, mellow, close to the end of his career. Emotional. And, he also recorded with Ray, who I think would have approved.
I heard this song while I was watching Groundhog Day on Tuesday. No one writes or performs anything close to the emotional quality of this anymore. Ray Charles is just amazing
How can this song ever get a single thumbs down??? Goes to show some people don't have a clue on what good music is....What a lost generation of people these days.....
Sad to admit, but I was born in 1955,which means I am 61 yrs old,...but that's not even the sad part(LOL!!)...the sad part is that only since the past year or so have I truly begun to appreciate such beautiful music!!! I've discovered that I LOVE orchestra and the "crooners" of blues and soul!!! I believe part of the reason was because my life had been so chaotic and stressful , that I never felt I had the time to just STOP and let my heart and soul absorb the BEAUTY that artists such as this had to offer. Then developed stage 3 breast cancer a couple of yrs ago (completely cancer free as of now!) and it certainly did STOP me and made me re-evaluate , not just MY life...but LIFE in general!! Talk about "Blessings in Disguises!!!"
+Gloria Mary Haywood Ah, Miss Gloria, I hear you; I'm born in 1957 and it takes a loooong time, I think, to understand and APPRECIATE the finer things in life, right?
I defy anyone who considers themselves human to listen to this performance without a lump in their throat. This is Ray's song, no one else could ever do it justice. The plaintiveness and the anguish are simply overwhelming. For me, this is one of the all-time top 100 songs/performances. Pure genius.
You give your hand to me And then you say, "Hello." And I can hardly speak, My heart is beating so. And anyone can tell You think you know me well. Well, you don't know me. (no you don't know me) No you don't know the one Who dreams of you at night; And longs to kiss your lips And longs to hold you tight Oh I'm just a friend. That's all I've ever been. Cause you don't know me. (no you don't know me) For I never knew the art of making love, Though my heart aches with love for you. Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by. A chance that you might love me too. (love me too) You give your hand to me, And then you say, "Goodbye." I watched you walk away, Beside the lucky guy Oh, you'll never ever know The one who loved you so. Well, you don't know me (For I never knew the art of making love, ) (Though my heart aches with love for you. ) Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by. A chance that you might love me too. (love me too) Oh, you give your hand to me, And then you say, "Goodbye." I watched you walk away, Beside the lucky guy Oh, you'll never ever know The one who loved you so. Well, you don't know me (you don't love me, you don't know me)
that guy, Sinatra, had a Amazing sense of things, Italians don't say something unless they mean it,, and of course i mean REAL Italians. (don't confuse us with gangsters)... Sinatra was the one who insisted Sammy Davis sing with him and they treat him right,, (lol, an offer you can't refuse). What he did for Sammy was Really honestly commendable. he didn't want his talent to be lost because back then,, im not even sure they could stay in the same hotel. people would be surprised to know how hard it was for black entertainers to get ANY real success back then. Sammy started as a Great Tap dancer with his father and uncle working black clubs.... Sammy influenced Michael Jacksons dancing alot. and even a step further,, Michael Jackson was the FIRST black singer to be 'allowed' on MTV,, crazy right..
Ray is the Name of the Man who wrote this song , The one who sung it , the one who was once alive in the flesh but always alive in our hearts and hopefully in Heaven. ..Ray Charles you still touch people with your music even ! still ! to this Day and that's a real accomplishment . You inspire me because that's how I want to impact the world too ....so , long after I'm gone they will remember me and I can still inspire and touch people's hearts even long after God takes me home . Peace and God Bless to All of you readers of this comment and to the rest of the world and to Ray Charles and family.
True brother Ray was and still is a true inspiration but he did not write this epic song. It was legendary country artist Cindy Walker who penned this, along with hundreds of others. Credit where credit is due.
Beautiful selection. Ray Charles have some music worth listening to even now. It lives on with his talents he was Blessed with. Ray your presence may not be visible but your spirit lives on in your music. Thanks for sharing your precious life with us.
this song has always comforted me during troubled times.It speaks to the soul and says everything for every person that has ever loved someone and has to realise that the person they love is fake and just another in a long line of dissapointments. Cheers to great music and true blues
Priceless clip. I was lucky enough to see him live three times in London uk . So many 60s uk bands admit they were heavily influenced by him. He was a bit of a rascal with the girls but tell who sings better --- I think no one.
My Mum and Dad's song, tears flow as I see them doing the creep around our living room, empty as they were decorating, floorboards, stripped wall paper ankle deep and so much love.
Were you a young child at the time? I can so appreciate your response to the song now and am laughing at the way young children can so completely misinterpret things. When I was little, Eddie Fisher's "Oh, My Papa" was big. I very much associated it with my daddy. It wasn't until many years later that I learned the song expressed sadness at death of a beloved father.
Laurie Abramson ,I was probably between 10-12 and it was the early 1970s. I cry every time I hear it but no sadness just pure joy knowing how much they loved each other. Sadly my Dad passed 7 years go and my Mums broken heart will never mend.
I'm right there with you in terms of Oh, My Papa. Even though I later understood its meaning, I still associate it with my father when I was little more than a toddler. The memory makes me laugh and cry at the same time. I hope that your Mum has many smiles and much laughter to balance the sadness. It's clear that she and your Dad infinitely enriched each other's lives, you being the greatest evidence. I'm wishing you good things ahead.
We're going off on a completely different track, but you reminded me of a heart- and mind-opening poem, easy to find on the internet, that I think will be significant to you: "Epitaph" by Merrit Malloy. With that, I bid you "Adieu." All the best for the year ahead.
My dad once said "Ray Charles- he could play piano...... not much of a singer, though". I had to burst out laughing. "dad, I think a lot of people would disagree with you about that"
Ray Charles the Master his entire life. This man can do more with one note than most performers can do with an entire song. Good when he was young, great when he was old. Only one "Genius". RC, "Brother Ray".
People don't perform music this good any more and never will again I'm afraid and I wasn't even alive when he performed his song. There is nothing like the classics that if for damn sure.
You give your hand to me And then you say goodbye I watch you walk away Beside the lucky guy You'll never know The one who loves you so Because you don't know me. Now my heart is beating listening to this beautiful, and sad song.
in the original vinyl, when he says "but you don't know me" for the first time in the song, it has a lot of power inside of it, and I think it really captures the essence of the song...its like, beautiful pain. ..."There is melancholy in the wind and sorrow in the grass" (Charles Kuralt).
I've been a lifelong sucker for this beautiful song, and Ray's versions have drawn me even closer to this song. Really love this live version as a counterpoint to his 'Modern Sounds' version. More personal and poignant, imo.
Ray's backup singers were perfect on I Can't Stop Loving You and Georgia, but they were the wrong 'sound' for this particular song. Their sound was more upbeat and cheerful than it should have been on this song. This is the type of song that needs a soulful, slow, serious sound rather than cheerfulness. This song is a man saying he loves a woman who doesn't realize that he loves her (happens to all of us!). She gives him a polite smile, her hand, and walks away with another man. She sees him in a harmless 'nice guy' way, and has no idea he's much 'deeper' than he appears - and that he loves her. Classic, beautiful, sad song that nails it for so-o-o many of us guys in life.
This changes with me from week to week, but right now I feel this is the best song ever! I love this live version - I don't miss the schmaltzy backing vocals of the original, but I do like the strings of that version. This is SOUL!!
Even through this crappy computer, the tone from that fantastic instrument shines through. This clip has all the great ingredients ,..The caucasion Lyrics,and chord structure , The black soul and blues feel,and that voice,and that playing ! Phew !. A similar clip is " James Brown Prisoner of love"
What a fabulous singer and song. Hey Jordan, you're loving the wrong woman. And thanks to whoever posted this video. I loved this song when I was a teenager, way, way back when.
Ray Charles in Sao Paulo, Brazil '63 "Ô-Genio" A very rare 1963 performance in Sao Paulo/Brazil, recorded one day before his 33rd birthday on "Teatro Cultura Artística" at the "TV Excelsior". Beyond its historical significance, the video provides enormous pleasure.
The greatest of all! Ray Charles is the spirit of music...my legend! Thank you for enlightening my life with your wonderful music. RIP...you'll be in our hearts for ever.
"No, you don't know the one who dreams of you at night and longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight. To you, I'm just a friend. That's all I've ever been, 'cause you don't know me."
Ray charles is one of the greatest musical artist that ever lived on this earth. His songs has inspired me from childhood and I am proud to share his songs with my children and grandchildren.
In the whole of the universe there will never ever be another Ray Charles.
One of the most romantic, heartbreaking songs of all time.....
Here here
My Dad played this and sang it to me christmas day 8 days later he lost his fight against Cancer he was only 65 ,five months later my sister died suddenly at 46 two yrs ago lost my mum My only other family live in England This song means the world to me
Jenny Guernsey 🇬🇬 ♥ ❤
Yes, it is, and it probably speaks to each of us.
@jenny4204 I bet this song brings a tear or two for you as it does for me. Charles sings it with poignancy.
You know you're at legend status when live version sounds better than album version
lance evans right!
Yeah man. Ray’s backup singers always took away from the quality of the songs he recorded, imo
Live is better unless the artist sucks. In a nutshell.
the good ones....it always is that way
lance evans : yep
The very definition "beautiful sadness".
Goddamn I love Ray Charles' music.
He was untouchable.
So beautiful
this song reminds me of a girl i met on a train. We were both hours from our destination, it was night time and we couldn't sleep. We talked til the sun came up. Describing our likes or dislikes, arguing our favorite movies and music..Laughing.. Even debating on life and love. She was amazing. When the train arrived at her stop we exited holding hands and shared a kiss... I was weightless. She asked me to stay, to not get back on that train. Ill never forget her
Before Sunrise vibes!😊
The way he slows down the lyrics at the beginning. "You give ...your......hand..." Genius.
I came downstairs at 2:10 am, here in South Carolina, and this song just came into my mind and I started singing it. I had to "fire up" my laptop" so I could hear Ray Charles sing it the way it is suppose to be sang.
In my opinion, Ray Charles, Elvis Pressley, and Johnny Cash are on a level by themselves when it comes to American Music, True American Legends and Treasures whose music shall live for enternity!
You missed Louis Armstrong
Don't forget hank Williams, Robert Johnson an the all the cats from the Delta
BB King too
Elvis my favourite artist, love Ray Charles but always thought Cash was overrated?
Stevie wonder
That first "And I can hardly speak" ahh just pure soul.
This version is so pure and soulful, it hurts me. In the best of ways.
NO ONE and I mean NO ONE cant do this song better then Ray
Well, Norah Jones isn't half bad... but perhaps I agree for the most part
Michael Grimm is a beast on this song
lol, I pitty the ones who´ve tried
WIllie's cut is up to 5MILLION views. He was close friends with Cindy Walker, from Mah-hay-yah, Tx (Mexia), did an album of her songs. Video shows Willie on his bus, mellow, close to the end of his career. Emotional. And, he also recorded with Ray, who I think would have approved.
he is the best
The greatest of the greats...and America's greatest musical gift to the world.
That voice, how can anybody not catch fire and slowly melt?
Ray captures the pain in the song - and I feel it so deeply.
I concur , all of his slower songs have this deathly , funeral home tempo.
Legend!!!! Can anyone else do what this man's voice doe's to you??? There are no words!!
Somebody else may have said it, but I'll say it again: this doesn't need a "like" button. It needs a "love" button.
Heartbreaking and beautiful. A song that most people can listen to and think "Yup. I've been there. I know that feeling." Masterpiece!
❤❤1959 I met my first love Earl this song brings back so many memories 😢 RIP
How does someone dislike this amount of perfection?
I heard this song while I was watching Groundhog Day on Tuesday. No one writes or performs anything close to the emotional quality of this anymore. Ray Charles is just amazing
India Arie ... she has some serious soul!
There will NEVER be another Ray,
im 22old and say: this is music!!!!
shows your intelligence..
How can this song ever get a single thumbs down??? Goes to show some people don't have a clue on what good music is....What a lost generation of people these days.....
They could at least autotune this crap recording
Perfect song, perfect execution. Damn I wish Ray were still here with us.
Sad to admit, but I was born in 1955,which means I am 61 yrs old,...but that's not even the sad part(LOL!!)...the sad part is that only since the past year or so have I truly begun to appreciate such beautiful music!!!

Talk about "Blessings in Disguises!!!"
+Gloria Mary Haywood Ah, Miss Gloria, I hear you; I'm born in 1957 and it takes a loooong time, I think, to understand and APPRECIATE the finer things in life, right?
Gloria Mary Haywood You must look for a Dinah Washington song called "Romance in the Dark" and Nina Simone's "Either Way I Lose" and "Do I Move You"
May I say...becomming a certaint age is fucking cool!! Don't you understand thats its you, having exaped death over and over again. How cool is that?
I defy anyone who considers themselves human to listen to this performance without a lump in their throat. This is Ray's song, no one else could ever do it justice. The plaintiveness and the anguish are simply overwhelming. For me, this is one of the all-time top 100 songs/performances. Pure genius.
If you do not like this, well, you and I - we cannot be friends!
There are family members I love less than this song- we'll b fine
Mark Barnett damn skippy brother!. I think that says it very well.
Those bluesy feels on piano , combined with the song's melody and words, make me melt.
possibly the greatest love song ever written
There's more emotion in the little cry at 2:30 than a million words. Ray Charles is the only one who can express something so vividly without words.
Now this is REAL MUSIC!
There will never be another classic n timeless artist like Ray Charles...
2 Unlimited is better
You give your hand to me
And then you say, "Hello."
And I can hardly speak,
My heart is beating so.
And anyone can tell
You think you know me well.
Well, you don't know me.
(no you don't know me)
No you don't know the one
Who dreams of you at night;
And longs to kiss your lips
And longs to hold you tight
Oh I'm just a friend.
That's all I've ever been.
Cause you don't know me.
(no you don't know me)
For I never knew the art of making love,
Though my heart aches with love for you.
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by.
A chance that you might love me too.
(love me too)
You give your hand to me,
And then you say, "Goodbye."
I watched you walk away,
Beside the lucky guy
Oh, you'll never ever know
The one who loved you so.
Well, you don't know me
(For I never knew the art of making love, )
(Though my heart aches with love for you. )
Afraid and shy, I let my chance go by.
A chance that you might love me too.
(love me too)
Oh, you give your hand to me,
And then you say, "Goodbye."
I watched you walk away,
Beside the lucky guy
Oh, you'll never ever know
The one who loved you so.
Well, you don't know me
(you don't love me, you don't know me)
I know the feeling
Thanks.
I feel like this is the international romantic introverts anthem.
I love this song so much , not everyone but a lot of ppl experiences what he's singing about
A great song performed by a great musician. As Frank Sinatra once said: "There's only one genius in this business, and it's Ray Charles."
that guy, Sinatra, had a Amazing sense of things, Italians don't say something unless they mean it,, and of course i mean REAL Italians. (don't confuse us with gangsters)... Sinatra was the one who insisted Sammy Davis sing with him and they treat him right,, (lol, an offer you can't refuse).

Sammy influenced Michael Jacksons dancing alot. and even a step further,, Michael Jackson was the FIRST black singer to be 'allowed' on MTV,, crazy right..
how can people hate this tune? seriously you never loved someone you can never get or made a mistake now they are gone?
THIS IS HEAVENLY
One of the greatest voices ever in the genre! Man, but wouldn't it be cool to have a voice like that!? To be able to sing like that!? Damn.
This man was and always will be a true legend.Great voice great lyrics and truly great delivery
something always gets into my eyes, every time that i listen to this song
We might not have met, but the only guy who i can share my sorrows and agonies with, love you Ray your always in my heart!!
Ray is the Name of the Man who wrote this song , The one who sung it , the one who was once alive in the flesh but always alive in our hearts and hopefully in Heaven. ..Ray Charles you still touch people with your music even ! still ! to this Day and that's a real accomplishment .

actually Ray did not write this song. A woman wrote it. Her name is Cindy Walker

Makes a tear come to my eye
This song has an incredible amount of soul in it.
thumbs up if you knew Ray Charles covered this song. Not his originally but by far the best.
He was out of this world...............
Beautiful selection. Ray Charles have some music worth listening to even now. It lives on with his talents he was Blessed with. Ray your presence may not be visible but your spirit lives on in your music. Thanks for sharing your precious life with us.
this song has always comforted me during troubled times.It speaks to the soul and says everything for every person that has ever loved someone and has to realise that the person they love is fake and just another in a long line of dissapointments. Cheers to great music and true blues
This song is purely classic. I cannot stop listening to it.
Priceless clip. I was lucky enough to see him live three times in London uk . So many 60s uk bands admit they were heavily influenced by him.
He was a bit of a rascal with the girls but tell who sings better --- I think no one.
lol,, Ray loved women, no question there.
To my mind this is Ray's most moving song. It tears me up every time I hear it. One of the all-time greats. RIP, King Ray.
The Master at his best!!!
Oh how I miss you Ray, the greatest of all time!!! God rest your incredible soul!
My Mum and Dad's song, tears flow as I see them doing the creep around our living room, empty as they were decorating, floorboards, stripped wall paper ankle deep and so much love.

We're going off on a completely different track, but you reminded me of a heart- and mind-opening poem, easy to find on the internet, that I think will be significant to you: "Epitaph" by Merrit Malloy. With that, I bid you "Adieu." All the best for the year ahead.
REAL MUSIC, its depressing to live in a generation that cant form music like they did back in the days.
My dad once said "Ray Charles- he could play piano...... not much of a singer, though". I had to burst out laughing. "dad, I think a lot of people would disagree with you about that"
Dad listen with your heart and soul, and feel the truth of his music.
Ray is a legend, yet still underrated.
@@sleepinggorilla What he is rated?
Ain't no body sang like Ray Charles and Aretha Franklin.
Ray Charles the Master his entire life. This man can do more with one note than most performers can do with an entire song. Good when he was young, great when he was old. Only one "Genius". RC, "Brother Ray".
Love love love this song!!! Musical genius! R.I.P Mr. Charles
People don't perform music this good any more and never will again I'm afraid and I wasn't even alive when he performed his song. There is nothing like the classics that if for damn sure.
Ray Charles is a national treasure. Anyone critical of this performance does not have a musical soul.
I think it's on Ray Charles 1963 - Live In Brazil. Everyone takes a back seat to Ray.
You can only feel this through your soul. Thank you for sharing.
😎
this the best music. this man is a blessing from god.
Man o man. Nothing else to say. R I P Sir Charles
bigez337 Exactly. No words needed.
You give your hand to me
And then you say goodbye
I watch you walk away
Beside the lucky guy
You'll never know
The one who loves you so
Because you don't know me.
Now my heart is beating listening to this beautiful, and sad song.
vanislefan I hear you, friend.
but you don't know me...
You can't sing this song unless you've got a lot of soul.
in the original vinyl, when he says "but you don't know me" for the first time in the song, it has a lot of power inside of it, and I think it really captures the essence of the song...its like, beautiful pain.
..."There is melancholy in the wind and sorrow in the grass" (Charles Kuralt).
im 20 and i think he is the best singer and the best voice of history
The GREATEST👍🔥🔥👑
The king of the piano ,Ray.
God Damn. Really you can't say anything else about how great this is.
What an extremely beautiful song, one of his best,,,, who hasn't had a friend they would have loved to marry
Lo mejor que en años he podido escuchar.
without being disrespectful...i doubt ray could "watch you walk away beside the lucky guy".
inspiring man, to me the greatest of all time.
An American Icon. Jon Kindley said it best "Perfect song, perfect execution. Damn I wish Ray were still here with us."
Heard Brooks & Dunn sing this, so had to come & hear Mr. Ray Charles, the master of soul himself. -of course.
Who cares how many people dislike this just enjoy the fact that you do like this!
I've been a lifelong sucker for this beautiful song, and Ray's versions have drawn me even closer to this song. Really love this live version as a counterpoint to his 'Modern Sounds' version. More personal and poignant, imo.
Heart and soul on top of HEART AND SOUL .... jam on in heaven with the choir you inspired Ray !
Ray's backup singers were perfect on I Can't Stop Loving You and Georgia, but they were the wrong 'sound' for this particular song. Their sound was more upbeat and cheerful than it should have been on this song. This is the type of song that needs a soulful, slow, serious sound rather than cheerfulness. This song is a man saying he loves a woman who doesn't realize that he loves her (happens to all of us!). She gives him a polite smile, her hand, and walks away with another man. She sees him in a harmless 'nice guy' way, and has no idea he's much 'deeper' than he appears - and that he loves her. Classic, beautiful, sad song that nails it for so-o-o many of us guys in life.
This generation of soul artists sang from the gut. What a great performance.
This changes with me from week to week, but right now I feel this is the best song ever! I love this live version - I don't miss the schmaltzy backing vocals of the original, but I do like the strings of that version. This is SOUL!!
Even through this crappy computer, the tone from that fantastic instrument shines through. This clip has all the great ingredients ,..The caucasion Lyrics,and chord structure , The black soul and blues feel,and that voice,and that playing ! Phew !. A similar clip is " James Brown Prisoner of love"
What a fabulous singer and song. Hey Jordan, you're loving the wrong woman. And thanks to whoever posted this video. I loved this song when I was a teenager, way, way back when.
Ray Charles in Sao Paulo, Brazil '63 "Ô-Genio"
A very rare 1963 performance in Sao Paulo/Brazil, recorded one day before his 33rd birthday on "Teatro Cultura Artística" at the "TV Excelsior".
Beyond its historical significance, the video provides enormous pleasure.
The greatest of all! Ray Charles is the spirit of music...my legend! Thank you for enlightening my life with your wonderful music. RIP...you'll be in our hearts for ever.
Fantastic..........could listen to him 24/7
Nobody compares to Ray!
He’s never sang a song the same way again. Unbelievable he sings it the way it feels that very moment
I was 9 years old, living in Pasadena, California, when I heard ths on the radio. I loved it then, and now, 51 years later, I still love it!
For Ruth, where ever you are. I hope you`re living a happy life. x
Every time I listen to this song chills run down my spine and the tears are untameable.
one of the saddest songs of all time
"No, you don't know the one who dreams of you at night and longs to kiss your lips and longs to hold you tight. To you, I'm just a friend. That's all I've ever been, 'cause you don't know me."
ray charles shouldnt have a dislike button; let alone anyone who would click on it
Maybe Uncle Ray's very best single from the very best album EVER recorded "Modern Sounds In Country And Western Music"
This is a very old country song and no one ever sang it as well as Ray.
This is just beautiful.
You stir me inside Ray and I miss you.
Thank you Ray. Thank you for all this beautiful music.
Ray charles is one of the greatest musical artist that ever lived on this earth.
His songs has inspired me from childhood and I am proud to share his songs
with my children and grandchildren.
Happy Birthday Ray.
80 today in heaven!
This song gives me chills. I just love it.
